Why does God hide from his creation? Some have seen visions and relay them to us (as recorded in the scriptures, other various writings and word-of-mouth). Others never see such spiritual openings yet do amazing things through faith – like Esther and Mordecai, in the days of the Persian empire as recorded in the book of Esther in the bible.
I often think if God was to appear to me in a burning bush and speak with an audible voice, I too could do amazing. But even Moses, when this actually happened, attempted to pull back from God’s directions. His faith wavered. So, if God stood in front of us and opened His plans for us, would we follow through? The answer lies in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus – Abraham says to the rich man (within the parable), if they don’t hear Moses and the prophets they won’t listen to someone who’s risen from the dead.
We have those scriptures – God’s actual words. Stands to reason, if we don’t believe them, we won’t believe a visitor from heaven.
